Is Kalos cursed or something bc how does GF keep fumbling the region. I mean I like X and Y but still.

It’s because they’re ambitious. I have a whole post I’ll make tomorrow probably, but the problem is that when Pokemon Company decides to do something in a big different way it literally always goes south. Johto didn’t crash and burn, but the inclusion of Kanto was a bad idea to begin with, and it’s one of the least popular regions, if not the most unpopular, for a reason. When Kalos dropped and they wanted to do a big event with the transition to 3D, it went so badly they cut a quarter of the region and had to delay the associated Pokebank by months, and created the only save annihilating bug the series has ever had. USUM was allegedly a grand wrap up for the series on handheld, and it sucked because it had like no editing and was churned out in a year by the beta team. ScarVi decided to be the first open world structure game (discounting PLA which is the only good game) and made a big open map that is beset by constant glitching and nonsense. And now Gen 10, according to Teraleak 2.0, is focused on “infinity” and procedurally generating infinite possible islands as if they could handle coding a game on railroad tracks with any kind of fidelity, and are making a game that’s supposed to span four regions like that went well the first time.

Anyway PLZA isn’t plagued by any of this, the corporate people are just morons who kept messing things up by making stupid decisions around paid DLC, items and forms locked behind online competitive, and removal of in-game mechanics to circumvent trade evolutions. Which are all things PLA avoided, so as the immediate sequel game it feels significantly worse and more like regression than it needed to.

My sibling says Lears the most breedable therefore he should win would you agree

@yaoicarus this ask was meant for you

This’ll never happen because Gacha Gamers would throw a fit but I’d love Paxton to get a feminine outfit for an alt/sync suit whenever he gets released for masters. Give me it cowards

Honestly, even if the gacha gamers didn't, they'd still never do it because they are, in fact, cowards. No way do they embrace this.

See the most tragic thing about the mega stones is they could’ve just require 5 battles against another player in general. WiFi preferred, but you can still get it with regular multiplayer. Yeah it means with you have one switch you’re screwed but the S2 has game share! Just find a buddy with a switch and you’re all set, have that be an opportunity to market the S2. Use what the console has to offer!!

Instead we have mega stones locked behind a paywall and will become unobtainable when the servers shut down

I think that’s really the worst part. Mega Delphox is impossible to use the first time through because it’s not in rotation yet. Delphox is also impossible to use when the servers go because it will never be available. Somehow, the Legends spinoffs, which started in a place of being able to do everything by yourself, have immediately pivoted to the main series conceit that the most important part of Pokemon is its competitive scene. I despise it. Every failure of every generation has been over this insistence that the most important part of the games is the competitive stuff after you’ve beaten the story and it’s just not.

And like. This is a more extreme form of XY problems anyway. Back then, megas were almost entirely postgame due to how they appeared. You had no story content to even use them for. Now it’s the same problem, a bunch of megas locked behind postgame conditions to even have access. Of the 8 shown, 5 are effectively postgame exclusive. But hey, maybe that $30 DLC will have postgame battles with max EVs, max IVs, and positive nature opponents! That’s been a worthwhile approach to challenge, right BDSP? Right Indigo Disk?

Finally pulled the plug on pokemon masters. Unless they suddenly start focusing on my favs again I’m free from the gacha grind

I’m so happy for you. May they never release one of your favorites ever again.

Can we get new developers/producers at this point. How did they think this would go over well. I saw Dexit go down yet this feels worse somehow

See, the problem here isn’t Dexit. It’s Home. ScarVi and SwSh were only reasonable to complete the dex because PLA existed and easily covered all the trade evos. Now that option is gone. If this game has trade evos through actually trading, then also pulls a PLA where something is only achievable by actually collecting everything, it is dead on arrival for anyone without a friend with a Switch. Oh, you wanted to run Gourgeist, your favorite Pokemon of the region? Fuck you, find another person who bought this shit IRL.

Fake fic name- you can’t look away

He enters the battle too late, Hoopa—contorted in its Unbound Form—is enthralled in the heat of violence behind Giovanni. It summons monsters with a sweep of its palm, roaring out commands to them. A pokémon made a welder. Giovanni doesn’t even bother to tell it what to do, instead focusing on his pokémon.

Pokémon of myth appear and disappear as their use wanes. Hoopa treats them as tools; the same way Lear had once treated it. Paulo’s Lycanroc is fast yet no match for a cunning creature like his friend.

Lear clutches Staraptor’s Poké Ball in his hand, but before he can rush out to the field and summon it, Hoopa turns toward him. Its pupils dilate as friends meet gazes, and the captured pokémon it commands turn to face him as well.

“Hoopa!” Lear yells out to his friend, but it laughs and laughs and laughs. “You’re better than this!”

Hoopa smirks at him, rows of teeth on display, and a war begins.

Or: Lear isn’t held captive in his Villa during the finale of the villain arc.
